4mm with laser. Vascular enlargements up to 100 cm, congenital wine stains, varicose veins on the face and legs are treated within 1-2 sessions. ND YAG LASER system is considered the most effective laser in the world for destroying superficial veins. Veins up to 4 mm are destroyed in 1-4 sessions. It works extremely well on capillaries on the face and thicker blue or red veins on the legs. Varicose vein treatment is performed by an aesthetic plastic surgeon.
Vein enlargement and varicose veins on the body surface, especially in the legs, disturb many people. Vein wall weakness and valve problems in the legs initiate these disorders and cause blood circulation problems, increased pressure and vascular structure disorders.
Varicose vein surgeries are performed for severely dilated vein disorders and the vein that has lost its function is removed. However, smaller and thinner, superficial vein enlargements and even the networks made by these veins are not beneficial through surgery.
Laser application has become the most important treatment method in destroying these veins. With laser application, the endothelial layer on the inner surface of the vessel wall is destroyed by creating heat rising up to 70 degrees inside the vessel. The inner surface of the damaged vessel sticks together and the vessel closes and disappears.
The success of this procedure depends on the type of laser used, the width of the vein, the technology used and the experience of the practitioner. Depending on these factors, the vein usually disappears in 1-4 sessions.
Many types of lasers are used in the market for vascular treatment. However, the primary use of most of these lasers is not vascular treatment. Very common epilation lasers, lasers used for blemishes and intense beam pulse devices are used for vascular treatment. For this reason, treatment failures, prolonged treatment, and skin damage are common due to the lack of vascular selectivity of these rays.
For this reason, Nd Yag laser device with high vascular selectivity (affecting the vessels but not the surrounding tissues) is used in our clinic for vascular treatment-destruction. The Nd Yag Laser beam is retained to a high extent by the hemoglobin in the blood inside the vein, and the main effect is within the vein. For this reason, the success of Nd Yag Lasers in vascular treatment has been accepted worldwide.
In the Super Nd Yag Laser device used in our clinic, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm wide heads can be selected in accordance with the thickness of the veins, and while the vein is being destroyed, the surrounding tissues do not receive unnecessary radiation. While 150-200 joules/cm2 energy is generally used for vascular treatment, the device has a power of 450 joules/cm2. It increases the application speed and provides full dose output with each shot. For this reason, for the good use of technology, vascular treatments are performed by specialist doctors.
Patient comfort is as important as success in practice. Advanced technology and an experienced practitioner are required to ensure that the application is completed quickly, the patient does not feel too much pain, and the surrounding tissues are not damaged as much as possible. In our clinic, a cooling system that can be adjusted down to -5 degrees is used to reduce the patient's pain and protect the skin. In this way, while the skin surface is cooled, effective application is carried out in the veins of the skin.
Only an experienced specialist should use this high technology because separate dosage settings and the use of different heads are required depending on the structure of each vein. In our clinic, vascular treatments are performed by an Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery specialist with experience in laser use.
